Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jacqueline Winspear When I visited Gibraltar in 2009, though I also had an idea that I wanted to write about it.

Sandy
Sandy asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I love Orlagh Cassidy's narration of the Maisie Dobbs series. I always read your books first and then listen to the audio version on my daily commute. In my mind, Maisie always sounds like Orlagh's interpretation. Did you choose Orlagh to narrate your books or is that a publisher's decision? I love everything about these books & I hope you keep this series going for many years to come!

Kim Severn
Kim Severn asked Jacqueline Winspear:

What attracts you most about writing stories with a strong female lead, during World War I and II in England?

Wynne
Wynne asked Jacqueline Winspear:

I would love to see Maisie in a PBS/BBC production. Have you been approached to do this? And many thanks for Maisie. I have read every book and although I have my favorites, I love the way Maisie and friends grow with the times.
